Reviews
"[Jones writes] with an excitement and empathy and terrific knack for the true colloquial phrase, the right feeling." --Kirkus Reviews, Jones has learned--and this has been very rare in jazz criticism--to write about music as an artist., In his prose as in his poetry, Baraka is at his best a lyrical prophet of despair who transfigures his contentious racial and political views into a transcendent, 'outtelligent' clarity.

Hard to believe a seller with 175K transactions under their belt still makes rookie mistakes. No tracking, no communication after one message, just not professional. Item was supposedly shipped but never arrived. Refund (and a long-winded, flimsy explanation) came after I simply inquired about the whereabouts of my item. Leads me to think they never sent it in the first place. I've had successful deals with these people in the past, but I don't enjoy playing their brand of eBay roulette.
